Chapter 308 (1/2)
November 1st, at noon.
A pretty girl in a black maid's dress knocked on Joe's door.
Two quarters of an hour ago, several guards sent Joe a small cart of large books - the current code of the Empire, the laws in force in the countries of medland, the public law of medland, the general history of medland, the general history of the Empire, the chronicles of medland countries, and so on.
These books can be found in the library of xuemumianbao. When the guards deliver books to their door, they specially ask Joe. If he is not willing to use the old books that others have read, xuemumianbao can go to the imperial bookstore and buy him a new set.
Of course, Joe has to pay a service fee for these brand-new books.
Joe collected the books and put them on the bookshelf of the library on the second floor. When the maid knocked on the door, Joe was suffering from a choice disorder and didn't know which book to start with.
The maid brought an early morning invitation from her neighbor, the middle-aged blonde man, who, as he had said early in the morning, had prepared a welcome tea party, solemnly inviting Joe to attend.
So, Joe put on a set of uniform brought yesterday, followed the maid to the middle-aged man's small building.
The middle-aged man was obviously well prepared.
The long dining table is covered with white tablecloth, fine porcelain tableware, tea sets, pure silver candlesticks, sugar cans, and exquisite snacks. Moreover, judging from Qiao's eyes, the hundreds of snacks on the table should be made by the chefs of high-end hotels. They are exquisite in shape and gorgeous in color. The air is full of sweet fragrance of milk and honey.
The middle-aged man, dressed in full dress, stood at the door of the building, warmly welcoming Joe's arrival.
Before that, Joe was dressed in sleek and smooth hair. They were in their 30s and 70s. When Joe walked into the building, they were all smiling and clapping to welcome Joe.
The oldest old man, wearing an old-fashioned aristocratic costume, three ribbons and more than 20 medals for meritorious service, was the first to come out. He hugged Joe with both hands, and stood on tiptoe a little difficultly.
”Welcome, welcome Welcome the fresh blood of blood kapok castle. Ah, little fellow, soon you will understand the warmth and joy of the blood kapok castle. This is a carefree paradise. You just need to enjoy the rest of your life without any worries
”Here, we are all family, we are family Little guy, you'll soon know the meaning of family here What's your name, little guy? Well, you can call me Old wheat! Ho ho, I'm Lao Mai, a bad old man who used to be famous, but now he is dedicated to supporting the aged! ”
The old man laughed loudly and took Joe's hand and introduced him to the owner of the building, a middle-aged blonde man. The old man called him the Marquis of donkeys. The old man explained to Joe, with a hint of embarrassment, that the middle-aged, blonde man had the same habits as a spring donkey.
The other ten guests were ”Navigator”, ”gunner”, ”kitchen king”, ”clown”
Joe remembered what Hyde had said last night - there was no need to register any information in the blood kapok fort, and no one cared what you were calling or doing outside. In the blood kapok fort, the prisoners used nicknames to each other to keep their last secret.
”I am Titan. I'm very glad to meet you all. Thank you very much for your kindness. ” Joe shook his hands. The wristbands of Titan's fist on his wrist were heavy and heavy.
As a result, Joe did as the Romans did, and gave himself the nickname ”Titan.”.
Lao Mai, marquis donkey and others looked up and down at Joe's huge body, which was more than seven feet high. They nodded in succession and recognized the nickname of Joe.
Welcome tea party, so in a warm start.
Everyone sat down on a circle of sofas in the hall on the first floor. Starting from today's weather, they exchanged greetings about their health conditions. Then the topic spread out in a boundless way.
The maids were busy serving tea and water and serving delicious snacks to the guests.
Everyone is comfortable sitting here chatting, everything does not need them to do it themselves.
Joe found that although these people were imprisoned in the blood kapok fort, they were well-informed and extremely well-informed. Whether it's the official news of the Durham Empire, or the romance of the aristocratic circle of the Empire, or the important news of medland, or the gossip of high-level countries, etc
But all the important people in the upper class of the imperial capital should know the news clearly.
For example, Mai, the oldest man in his 70s, clearly analyzed the causes and consequences of the mid autumn massacre in port Tulun in August.
”Vigrah and Roth, there is no doubt that they are qualified as the sharp knives of the imperial royal family.”
”And the wito family in port Toulon, as a hound trained by vigrah and rose, is also very wonderful.””The hyena of the highland Kingdom, the impulsive woman, and a few ambitious young people who want to fish in troubled waters, finally let the imperial royal family take advantage of what they did in port Tulun.”
”For a long time, the Empire didn't have a good chance to completely control port Tulun.”
”But this time, it's wonderful. It's wonderful Well done by vigrah and Roth, well done by the witus family. Port Tulun was completely conquered by the Empire, whether in real power or in jurisprudence. ”
”Ah, the land of flowing gold and silver How much profit can the Empire get from it? ”
Lao Mai kept shaking his head: ”it's a pity that we can't eat such a big piece of fat...”
With a sigh, Lao Mai took up his tea cup and sipped his hot tea slowly: ”the guy from vigrah should be back in the capital soon He is the third deputy director general of the imperial Ministry of supervision and the inspector general of the Heidelberg region. Great. He's the best one in the imperial blood. ”
